Ticket purchase was very easy and quick through Headout.
The crocodile farm was good. A nice trip for the kids and interesting to see the big crocodiles and learn more about them. Service at the okavango cafe was poor. Slow service and we were told drinks on the menu (juice) not available but then we purchased some directly at the bar....
Overall we enjoyed the experience but there are definitely points for improvement
